Window mastic in Totteridge: local notes
With historic houses such as Wyllyotts Manor (about 4.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Totteridge as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like The Totteridge Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Oakleigh Park station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Totteridge
Homes in Totteridge have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We’re often asked to deal with draughty joints inside around the window and leaking joints at the ends of sills, across window sills, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease generally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Totteridge is something to talk through when you book.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Check the mastic once a year
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that is what we find.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Why deal with it now?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Totteridge, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
